BETA TESTING FOR ROOT FOR ROO IS NOW LIVE! WE ARE GOOD TO PURCHASE!

The price increased slightly to $1,000 even which is no biggie as I plan to cover any difference. However, I remember a few people posted saying they wanted to be a part but never donated. Now is your last chance Specifically BlackAmy i know you had said you wanted in.

Now, before I can actually purchase the tree we need to come up with a member/group name and an inscription.

Member/Group Name*:Inscription (200 char max):

*This is how the tree will be identified on your web page, tree tag and plaque.

Once we have these 2 minor details confirmed, I will purchase the tree!

I think "Inforoo" is great. The quote, though, should be more like:

Sponsored by a community of 18,000 people who have never, ever agreed on a single thing except that this tree and what it represents is important and special. It is a symbol that we are all human and therefore mortal, but more importantly, when push comes to shove, we are all humane and therefore capable of compassion and kindness.

I don't really think that's what it should say - just after the last few days of posts, wanted to say that.

Just sent some money!

I think Inforoo is perfect for name.

Quote ideas:

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ? Plato

“We are the music-makers,And we are the dreamers of dreams,Wandering by lone sea-breakers,And sitting by desolate streams.World-losers and world-forsakers,Upon whom the pale moon gleams;Yet we are the movers and shakers,Of the world forever, it seems.” ? Arthur O'Shaughnessy, Poems of Arthur O'Shaughnessy
